WIRELESS FREEDOM MADE EASY
Have you always dreamed of using your instrument wirelessly but have been put off by complicated setup, signal loss, and bulky gear? If so, the WL-20 series is for you! Powered by lightning-fast new BOSS technology, these ultra-compact musical tools deliver premium sound and plug-and-play operation that completely eliminates all the hassles normally associated with wireless systems.
Once you experience the easy wireless independence offered by the WL-20 series, you’ll never go back to using a standard cable! Without the worry of cable management, you can move freely while playing at home, jamming with friends, and performing on stage. During a concert soundcheck, you can listen to your tone out front and dial in the best sound for your audience. And with the ability to move around and interact with other musicians, your live shows will be more dynamic and entertaining than ever.
Plug-and-play wireless systems for guitar, bass, and other electronic instruments
No complicated setup required: simply dock the transmitter and receiver together for about 10 seconds to set the optimal wireless connection
New BOSS technology delivers premium audio performance with rock-solid stability, ultra-low latency (2.3 ms), and 15-meter range (line-of-sight propagation)*
Built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 12 hours of continuous playing time**
Simple charging with a standard USB adapter (5 V/500 mA or higher)
Cable tone simulation reproduces the natural capacitive effect of a 3-meter guitar cable (WL-20 model only)
Spare WL-T transmitter available separately
* Transmission range may vary depending on local conditions.
** A full charge provides 12 hours of battery life for the transmitter and 7 hours for the receiver.
Lightning-fast BOSS wireless technology
Equipped with the same high-performance BOSS wireless technology that debuted in the Katana-Air wireless guitar amp, the WL-20 series delivers exceptional sound quality with a wide dynamic range. Operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the optimal channel is set automatically to ensure rock-solid audio performance with zero signal dropouts. And with ultra-low latency of just 2.3 ms, you’ll always enjoy great playing feel with no lag. Up to 14 BOSS wireless systems can be used simultaneously in one space, allowing multiple musicians to enjoy wireless freedom at the same time.*
*Environmental conditions may affect the actual number of simultaneous systems available.
Plug and play
A WL-20 system is literally as simple to use as a standard guitar cable. The small transmitter plugs into your instrument, while a matching receiver plugs into a pedal or amp. That’s it!
Automatic wireless configuration
With the WL-20 series, no tedious channel setup is required. Simply connect the transmitter and receiver for about 10 seconds to automatically set the optimal connection.
Easy USB charging
Once connected, the built-in batteries in the transmitter and receiver can be charged together using a standard USB adapter (5 V/500 mA or higher), the same type used with the latest smartphones and tablets. The transmitter and receiver can also be charged separately, and a micro USB cable is included for charging.
WL-20: Built-in cable tone simulation
If you play guitar or bass with standard passive pickups (the most common type of pickup), the WL-20 model is likely your best choice. It includes built-in cable tone simulation, which reproduces the natural capacitive effect introduced when using a 3-meter guitar cable with passive pickups. This effect rolls off the highs very slightly, giving you the warm tone you are accustomed to hearing with a normal cable.
WL-20L: No cable tone simulation
The WL-20L model is functionally identical to the WL-20, except that it eliminates cable tone simulation. This makes it the best choice for instruments where cable capacitance has little or no effect on tone, such as an acoustic/electric guitar with an onboard preamp, a guitar or bass with active pickups, or a line-level device like a keytar or Roland’s Aerophone digital wind instrument. The WL-20L also works great with passive pickups if you don’t need the subtle high-frequency roll-off provided by cable tone simulation.
WL-50: A BOSS wireless system for your pedalboard
If you’re looking to bring wireless freedom to your pedalboard, check out the WL-50. Equipped with the same high-performance wireless technology as the WL-20 and WL-20L, the pedal-sized WL-50 features an integrated transmitter docking station, two cable tone simulation options, and a DC output to distribute power to one or more pedals.
